Hi!

I am new to this site and looking for some friends to motivate me and keep me in check! I am a mother of two children. I gained 60 lbs with my first child (who is 9) and luckily lost all that weight. When I got pregnant this last time (my son is now two), I gained 70 lbs. I have only lost 20 lbs and can't seem to lose anymore. I would like to lose about 30-40 lbs. Today is day 1. (started before, but Christmas derailed me! ).

    Welcome to MFP, and good luck on losing the weight. We are all for the same reason...to lose the extra weight we have to carry around everyday. Feel free to add me. I am a mother of 2 as well, but unfortunately, mine are all grown up.

    Mother of two, 8 and 10. 40 pounds is my ultimate goal as well. Didn't gain a whole lot during the pregnancies just after. Still it has to go! Feel free to friend me, this site it very good for encouragement, information and maybe just getting things off your chest. Welcome!

    I'm a mom of two, Audrey (2yrs) and Harrison (8mos). I'm trying to lose about 55 pounds, I'm 9 pounds in. I gained 30 pounds with each pregnancy, I'd probably have gained more but I lost weight for the first half of each one. I'm trying to lose about 25 pounds (total, just 16 more to go!) by April, when I'm planning on getting pregnant again. My progress has slowed because I haven't been able to get to the gym for the past two weeks. I was hoping to get back this week but my whole family and I have been sick...Right now my little boy is the only healthy one in the house.

    Hi! I'm a mom of two trying to get back into shape. I joined earlier, but the holidays (and having no less than 5 family members with birthdays during the past two months!) derailed me, too! Add me if you'd like! :)

    Hey, I'm a mom of two boys (14 and 15 almost 16). Mines been the slow steady middle aged creep of gaining weight. I was trying to match my 6'3" husband and 2 teen boys bite for bite and that wasn't working out so well for me! Friend me if you want-I'll nag you if you need it or just give you "attagirls".
